Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(6-chloro-7-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinolin-2-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone (400 mg) in MeOH (15 mL) was added K2CO3 (572 mg, 4 mmol) in H2O (10 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours before it was acidified with HCl (1N) to pH 8. It was then extracted with EtOAc and the organic layer was washed with H2O (2×25 mL), dried over anhy. Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to tive the crude title product together with a regioisomer (170 mg). Prep-TLC separation (30% EtOAc in petroleum ether) then gave the desired title compound (130 mg) as a white solid.
